Katelyn Bezek, MD
My specialties:
- Family medicine
Professional interests:
- End of life care
- Women's Health
- Hospital Medicine
I am a board-certified family medicine physician with professional interests in women's health, end of life care and hospital medicine.
I am passionate about: creating and maintaining relationships with my patients. Primary care is a great place to build lasting positive experiences and my goal is always to make the patient and their families feel empowered in their own medical care.
If I wasn't a provider, I would be a: veterinarian or barista - I love all sorts of animals and I hope to keep increasing my collection. But if not a veterinarian, a job that allows unlimited coffee as a perk sounds pretty terrific.
I knew family medicine was the path for me: because it provides the opportunity to practice along a wide spectrum of ages and situations while building long term relationships with patients.
One of the challenges of this career I enjoy is: being present and supportive during difficult times. I am grateful for the opportunity to offer my help during times of illness, fear or stress, although I often find it challenging. It is still a gift to be present during such personal events.
One of the best things I have done for my health is: adopting a dog! Gets us walking every day, regardless of weather.
